I'll play devil's advocate here a little bit. This does sound like a good idea. However, this is how they did it the first time around with Instant Replay in the 1980s. That system was stopped because it seemed that there was good ole boy ref system where the guy upstairs was very hesitant to over rule his buddies on the field. They didn't want to make him look bad.
I remember a lot of obvious calls that weren't over ruled in that system. That's why when they brought replay back, they let the ref on the field do it.
So going back to the guy upstairs doing it, instead of getting more calls right, you may get less over rules and worse calls. That's if history repeats itself, which it often does.
That's a fair argument. However, couldn't such buddy-buddying be curbed simply by not allowing the replay official(s) to go nameless? I would think there would be more pressure on an official's reputation with not just the league offices, but also in the world of public opinion, than there would be to please his coworkers. Especially in a world these days where an official's name becomes known with simply one or two highly visible tweets.

This is a easy one...
I heard from someone that JP Loserman plays qb
Wow, it took 3 full pages before somebody finally made a stale, unoriginal, unfunny play on words regarding J.P. Losman's name. That's got to be a record of some sort. Thanks for picking up the slack, Stenbar.
JP Losman shaves his pubes into the shape of a handlebar mustache.

This is going to be a controversial topic, I know, but I was wondering when the last time a non-white Bills player got a big contract extension?
We've seen players like Schobel, Kelsay, Fitzpatrick and K. Williams (he definitely deserved it) all get good contract extensions. But, they couldn't give extensions to Jason Peters, let Jabari Greer walk, Antoine Winfield, and now Stevie Johnson (as contract talks broke off, because the team couldn't come close on numbers with Johnson's camp).
Is this just a coincedence or is someone (or some people) not willing to pay non-white Bills players a large payday?
Posts like this make me question the general intelligence of this entire forum. This is literally the dumbest suggestion I've seen on this board, and that's seriously saying something. I don't even know where to begin...

Mine came in the mail today. Now all I have to do is get married to a woman who will put up with this thing, buy a house with a reasonable room to hang this up, and find an hour to paste it to the wall.

1) why are we calling him cheddar?
2) why does everyone need a nickname?
3)Why can't you follow simple instructions?
Scott "Cheddar" Chandler. Don't ask any questions, that's just his nickname now. Go forth, use it. Go Bills.

All of these other attempted nicknames suck. Cheddar Chandler, it is...

I think I called this injury when it was reported his Achilles was "flaring up". He'll never again play as a Bill and I'd kinda be surprised if we see him start another game in the league again.
Why are some people so down about this? He never contributed anything to the team and all he was doing was depriving guys of playing time that have some real potential (Moats). I'm excited to see what the young guys on the roster can do when plugged into the game plan full time.

Actually, the funniest thing is that posters here actually think you are a real person...
This.

Totally agree. This defense as it stands right now is just not getting it done.

9-6 headed into a showdown at New England. Good luck with that. If Buffalo wants a shot at the playoffs, they'll need to somehow get 10 wins before headed to New England.
*The New England game might be a tough call and depends on how the Pats end up at the end of the regular season. If they have clinched the AFC, which is entirely possible, the week prior, then Buffalo might not see Brady and Welker the entire game. Still, I get the feeling that Hoody will be out for blood no matter what the situation is against the Bills.

This is so frustrating. Schefter's segment that he mentioned this possibility was "Trades that should happen...but won't". This isn't even a rumor! Stop!

Giants win, 24-23. Defense looks better but big yards given up by special teams at bad times. Offense plays well and we're still optimistic headed into the bye week at 4-2.

I think we're stressing out too much over a player who is averaging .8 tackles per game...
I'm more worried about who they'll use twice a game to replace him (I'm not really that worried).

This thread would be infinitely more useful if somebody could recall the rest of Cowherd's "list".

To hell with the holding non-calls, that's been an issue forever. What I couldn't believe was how poorly the on-field calls were that ended up being reversed.
In the first quarter the placement of the ball on an Eagles completion was a joke. I know ball placement is never an exact science, but the line judge couldn't have had a better view of the play and he was way off.
Even worse was the Vick fumble call in the second half. The replay showed a camera angled that was directly over the field official's shoulder. Vick had all but one limb on the ground when the ball squeaked out. Everybody in the stadium probably knew it.

What happened to"we're deep at WR"?
Injuries.

I like T.O., but he is the complete opposite of what this team is trying to accomplish. If he's not signed by December, maybe give him a look to give us that extra push into the playoffs. But we're winning right now so I don't think his services are needed.

I was thinking more along the lines of getting into something else of Vick's:

Thank god that song sucked.

They were after week three now there tied with the redskins
Surprising, I was unaware of this.

Tom Brady Anyone?
What? How would you even know? Brady has always had one of the most experienced lines in the league. There are 3 pro bowlers currently on that line. Brady's a great quarterback who has always had all day to throw. Vick has considerably less time in the pocket and is still making plays.
Same goes for Peyton Manning if you want to use "Peyton Manning, Anyone?" for your next answer.

I agree it may be a blessing since the Eagles lead the entire NFL in sacks, ...
Since when?
You couldn't be more wrong. They are talking about making changes and moving players. They didn't decide on their C and RT until a few days before opening game. I am in Philly and this is what is being said and written.
This doesn't make it any more true. In fact, it probably hurts your case. But regardless of how legitimate their line may be, my point was that if there's one QB in the league that is affected the least by poor line play, it's Vick, and that's not even close.
Where are you now Bills Fan?
